I’ll be watching!
SWEEEETTTTT!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you MPP for helping all of us citizens out!
Thanks, I will be watching and make sure you take a hit at the idiot of the drug zcar!
MPP will go down in history. Marijuana policy project fighters of whats right.
The only time I ever watch FOX is if MPP is on there.
This is all getting great coverage and the momentum is building despite media black out of the MPP commercial……….keep up the fight!!!
you guys at fox might be smarter then we think you are.But Hannity,no we are most definitely not talking about you,
Break a leg, Rob.
I wonder how many prohibitionists will be there to SHOUT over our hero, Rob Kampia.
I parental controlled fox OFF my channels a long time ago. LOL.
I only see fox on U-tube or here.
Rob…. please point out that this past weeks raids in Fresno California destroyed 330,000 plants. That’s a possible 660,000+ ounces that could have been sold and generated $33 Million in tax revenue from the $50 surcharge alone. If an ounce costs $300 (I pay $500/oz for Kush so when it is legalized the price should come down) this would generate $13.8 million in sales taxes. Plus you’ll receive State and Federal income taxes as well with the legal industry.
In one week alone the DEA took $47.8 Million in tax revenue out of the State of California!!!!
Well… $46.8 Million… sorry about that!
Ya all beating up just FOX for. All news medis these days SUCKS!
My TIVO is set

@Rob
Looking forward to seeing you do all you can on the Fox Business News program. Keep up the fight fellow patriot.
Rob point out in Shasta county in norcal deputies were shot at with 45 cal semiauto guns trying to defend their crop . If it was regulated legally farmers would be the ones groing our cannabis not illegal alien gangs and officers wouldn’t have to risk their lives
cool!!! thanks for the heads up!!!!!
LEGALIZE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome ill be watching!
I love how they put it on happy hour, and will no doubt have Rob sitting at the bar. Just where you want to be when discussing a serious matter.
I’ve seen it before, and I swear the woman reporter looked bombed.
wish I had this channel, just switch cable providers and apparently I dont get fox business anymore. damn, I hope its available online afterwards
If the U.S. Government is going to continually fail to recognize the medical value of cannabis even though they hold Patent # 6630507 stating otherwise, then I think that MPP.org or another large advocate should offer to buy out rights to the patent.
Why hold a patent on the medical attributes of cannabis if you are going to also deny the medical value!?
After legalization, I hope someone in the seat of power prosecutes our nations figures of prohibition for their War crimes and crimes against humanity .
There are countless lives destroyed, families separated, and billions of untaxed dollars have left our country to fund cartels and terrorism as a result of prohibitionist policies.
EMORY – you make some excellent points, I hope to see these kinds of issues brought up under a bigger spotlight.
Plus why do prohibitionists insist the only way to take advantage of cannabis is smoking it, ignoring the many other ways we can use the plant even in food. Its arguably safer than the legal tobacco products in it smoked form but when cooked into food these risks dissapear making cannabis one of the safest substances on earth.
How bout clearafying the line the government walks, they openly state cannabis holds no medical value but at the same time they have patents for and supply medical cannabis to people. They should not have it both ways, either they beileve its not medically viable or it is ,either stop supplying it to people and give up patents on it or stop this policy that requires the drug czar to openly lie about the positive value of cannabis.
Woooo i can’t wait, gonna watch it tonight =)
I’m sure this is what they are going to want to talk to Rob about.

Damn it, I don’t have that channel in my cable!
Did that host really call him bro?
Good lord.
What the he’ll happen? :bong:
It went really well. Rob did a good job again, and the female host sounded like she was in total agreement with Rob. The guy that called Rob “bro” asked a couple stupid questions, and Rob answered him perfectly.
Fox has really done a complete turnaround on how they are dealing with marijuana. They probably saw the ratings of other networks go up when they were more honest about marijuana.
I’ll bet Anderson Cooper got the highest ratings he’s had in a long time when he did the week long series “Americas High” even though I found it to be very biased, especially the last two days when all they showed was the prohibitionists.
Link to the interview please,
as I’m one of many who doesn’t get that channel.
Rob did a good job as normal .
Here is the link of Rob on Happy Hour.

Thanks for the link Jason. Great job as usual Rob.
Thanks for the link. Very funny comment at :42, Fine job by Rob staying focused … on the question. LOL
Overall very good, but 2 years is very optomistic after what Kerlikowski just pulled.
Heres a video I feel all Americans should listen to and consider..even if you dont agree to all in it. There is something there for everyone.

Just watched the show, I didnt know fox had “tryed” to reach out of younger viewers. Not that its working i haven watched Fox in 5 years+. Anyhow typical comments bythe interviewers, the guy was very ignorant, to think a rush of people will run out and get high the day this policy changes, I dont think so. but I do believe that it will look that way since all that smoke and wont admit it, will then be able to come out of the Pot Closet.
Just be prepaired, due to all this coverage and growing support the Prohibitionests are crapping themselves, they know they are losing there web of fear and lies and will strike back. They will come out with some number or study, miss-information of course, but still watch for it.
i think the long haired dude wanted to ask rob where he could score some cannabis. great job rob and thanks!
Everyone Should check out http://www.cnn.com, they have a poll on if marijuana should be decriminalized. 66% say yes, cmon guys Vote it up =)

This is the guy, and this guy sucks.
Bruce,
When Rob Kampia says it’ll take two years to legalize MJ, I think he knows what he’s talking about. That victory for the majority of American cannabis users should never have been taken away in the first place as our right to use MJ WAS protected in the Original Proclomation that starts, “We the people….” Our rights ladies and gentlemen have been paid for in blood by the Fathers of this Nation and it’s Armed Forces. It’s a slap in the face to those who gave their lives to build this Country and those who protect it for us to allow anymore mistakes like prohibition.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

@ Nick: What is the link to the CNN pole? I cant find it.
Hi David, they took it off like 2 days ago i went back on to check it, nd it was a diff poll.
LOOK. SIMPLY SENDING OUT LETTERS AND EMAILS IS OK, BUT ITS NOT ENOUGH! NIXON DECLARED WAR ON THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY IN 1969 WHEN HE INTRODUCED THE WAR ON DRUGS. ISN’T IT ABOUT TIME WE FIGHT BACK?
LOOK UP THE DEFINITION OF TERRORISM, ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS PROHIBITION IS A TERRORIST!
OUR FOUNDING FOREFATHERS WOULD BE EXTREMELY DISPLEASED WITH US. THEY WOULD AGREE THAT PROHIBITION IS A CRIME AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE’S FREEDOMS AND SHOULD BE PUNISHABLE BY DEATH!
I AM NOT SAYING WE SHOULD START KILLING ANYONE, BUT I AM SAYING ITS TIME WE FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE!
NIXON AND EVERY OTHER PROHIBITIONIST SHOULD GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE BIGGEST CRIMINALS THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER SEEN!
